Phone/Accessory Mismatch - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3

I ordered a black Note 3 from Amazon and received white charger, cords, headphones, etc. What color phone/accessories did you receive?
Thanks in advance.

That's normal

Since when? I got everything black with my black Note 10.1. I HATE white.

It's normal for the Note 2 and Note 3 phones. We ordered 600+ black note 2s and they all had white accessories. Same with my black Note 3.

REALLY hate it. Now need to spend extra just to get black. Nice way to stick it to me Samsung. My Note 10.1 came with black - does the Note 2014 come with white? Was excited about getting that, too, but not so much anymore.

I'm sure you have dozens of standard usb cords in black lying around. You don't NEED to use the USB3 cable.

It's a faster charging cable, right? Also, as for the wallwart, is it anything special?
Amazing device! Unless something major is wrong this phone is mine! For the most part it is the phone I knew I always wanted. I knew the reviews were undervaluing it. I do have the garbled call issue, but I'm downloading the updates now.

There shouldn't be ANY difference in charging from the wall. I've registered the same mah with a standard 2.0 cable and the included 3.0 cable. OTOH, if you charge from a PC usb 3.0 port vs 2.0 port.... Might be a different story.
Wall adapter I think is 2 amp, don't have my reading glasses on to be sure. You can use any standard power adapter and it'll charge just fine. I don't think I own any less than 2a.
Oh, and about the included white headphones. Quality is about the same as a cheapo walmart pair. You're NOT missing anything by NOT using them. hahahaha

Thanks for the info. I do frequently charge from my PC. I have a lot of wallwarts - maybe the Note 10.1 charger (not cord) will work as well.
Yeah, those headphones don't look appetizing - even if they were in black. Mine are scheduled for my son. He has an iPhone (guess what color).

The included charger is a little beefier than my previous s4 charger. But not too much. 5.3 at 2.5a vs 5.0 and 2.0

so I took my kiddo to his street hockey practice (outside on a asphalt rink with a ball and running)... but anyway.. i had my headphones in.. using my new Note.. and someone said. Oh you got the 5s huh... I laughed out loud... (but I know him so can bust his [email protected])...
I said.. oh yeah and why do you say that.. he said.. umm cuz of the white headphones.. so I said.. I knew it people would think that so time to get black cuz I dont want to be a poser...
he looked dumbfounded... so someone with a 5s came by and put his phone next to mine... and it looked so cute.. so small.. and like such a toy...
they were all amazed at the all mighty Note 3... but mistaken it for a ipcrud due to white headphones... sheeze...

Yeah, I think that the white accessories got me because my son has his iPhone in white and it reminds me of it.
But I do just prefer black, AND white with black, in this case, looks very OFF. Cheaper to produce only one color and supply it - easy way to increase cost to consumer if they want matching accessories. Everyone I talked to about getting the white with the black said "I wouldn't want that either."

[Q]replacement phone

i just got my replacement warranty phone from big red after my new one went to poop. anyways.... first, the top right screen looks and feels like its not screwed in tight. i can see the screen loose and i can press it down to where it should be but just looks like i can peel the screen off.so i tighten up the screw on the back but still have some play on it. is that normal? my wifes phone doesn't seem to do that but just in case someone else had this problem and what they did aka return or what not.
another note my screen has that brownish tint or what not to it. my wife screen is white and bright and mine is white brownish color (hard to explain but dull looking tint). is that normal on new phones?
main question is i don't know if this phone is broken, defective or what not. just needed some input if some of you guys had this problem. thanks
Sounds like a not so good refurb. What's big red?

Don't feel bad I recently had a fascinate that the screen burned out on. They sent mme a replacemrnt and the new one wouldn't get signal. Ever. Got my third one and called back and complained and ended up with the thunderbolt and sold my fascinate and profited 200 bucks.

Dust!

This is annoying. I just started getting dust under my screen 4 different spots.
Anyone else experience this issue and does anyone know if Sprint would replace or clean it if I bought it from amazon?
Sent from my 3D Shoooter!
They'll clean it. You need to keep in mind everything will build dust overtime. Even the iPhone will haha.
Good deal. I'll probably wait till it gets much worse as its not that bad right. Mainly just annoying.

Oh don't get me wrong, it'll bug the he'll out of me. Do you see it only when a bright light reflects off the screen? Such as the sun or something.
I found some plugs to use when your not charging or listening to music to stop dust from getting in. Go to topicovers.com, costs 5 to ship a 2 dollar item but if you don't like dust its worth it.

[Q] pink soft buttons

when u knock the lights off are the soft capacative buttons supposed to be pink or not thanxs

Going by all of the promotional photos and the other accents on the phone, I think that it is pretty safe to say the the buttons should also be red. That said, a lot of owners have found that some (as on mine) or all of the buttons have a light red (pink) hue. Since the actual backlights are white, it seems to be a manufacturing defect in that the red tint used on the digitizer was not applied properly on some devices. Yes, it sucks. There's also a thread showing some users cracking open their RZDs using everything from a red sharpie to color the white LED's to completely replacing them with red LED's.

Haha. Yeah, two of mine are fairly red, but the others are very pink. I want to rub the lights down with a sharpie, but I haven't looked into getting the "void" sticker off in one piece yet. I'm also wondering how legit the "replacement" stickers are on ebay. The fact that they only sell them in sheets of [email protected]$10 a sheet is lame though.

I believe it's been proven that males tend to be more color blind than females but she's pushing it there.
From the pics that have been posted by some users..... That's PINK!.
Crossing fingers that I get red when I take the dive.
My buttons are pretty much pink too, but it doesn't bother me.

My Rezound's red accents are ruined because the soft buttons are Pink!
Seriously, guys. Risking voiding your warranty or exchanging for a brand new phone because the buttons aren't red enough? Sounds more like a thing that would derail an Apple fan, to me!
Mine are nice and red. I'm just wondering how long that's going to last before they start turning pink though.

So we bought a phone with red capacitive lights, and aren't supposed to be bummed that they are pink? Everything relating to a smartphone is a first world problem, so calling this one complaint out is a little silly. I had my lights replaced with red LEDs. My warranty isn't void. If it doesn't bother you, that's great. You don't need to tell us that it shouldn't be an issue, because obviously, to some of us, it is.
Rabble rabble rabble.

Took about 2 weeks for me to start to see a change
Yepp to some of us the details are important. Obviously for someone for example who can care less about cars, they wouldnt put rims on it or other stuff, but for someone who does, its something they want done. I would def want my rezound in white, would look sick with the red lights and red grill n so forth, but im not gonna paint this guy cuz it never stays as good as factory done i wish stupid colorware would paint other phones aside from gay ass iphones and ipads...

They're not exactly Red. I wish they were more red. But I got over it. I'm not going to waste the resources to manufacture an entire new phone because they're a few shades short of the red I'd hoped for.

HTC should know that customers are not happy about it. Even if they don't receive the complaints directly, the exchanged handsets should be enough of an indication. I'm probably being too wishful in that regard though, as the handsets will likely just be "re-certified" and sold again, knowing Verizon. Then the circle of life is completed - the only resources consumed are some new packaging materials.

replace tablet

So I was thinking about getting this, but not ready for an upgrade and its pricey to buy even a used one. I was thinking though of replacing my phone and tablet with it as its kinda an in between. Anyone done this or would recommend or not recommend?
Ymmv but I sold my galaxy nexus and nexus 7 and bought the note 2. I like it much better. No data to sync between the 2. I get nearly as much battery as the tablet and it fits in my pocket. My nexus 7 was wifi only so now I have data all the time as well.
I decided to keep the nexus 7 for a few days after to make sure bud I sold it like 3 days after I got my phone.
Its all personal preference though

If I flew a lot I'd rather have a Nexus 7 on hand, but otherwise I like having the Note 2 in my pocket wherever I go. This is something where you'll have to figure out how often you use it and how annoying you think it is to carry it around etc.
Yeah, same here. Exchanged the DNA, and gave my Nexus 7 to my son soon after buying the Note 2. I still have it available, but haven't picked it up for any other reason except to charge it.

and what about the phone portion? I mean all the reviews say its weird and awkward but do you feel like a wackjob using it as a phone?
I guess it depends on what size tablet your thinking of eliminating.
I love my note 2 but it is definitely not going to replace my 10" tablet anytime soon.
The people who say it looks funny holding it are jealous I havent even touched my Asus tf300 since I got this phone. It is my sons now.

This.
I came from a One X and find my self reaching for my Note 10.1 less but the extra screen real estate between 5" and 10" makes a huge difference for consumption and creation. But I also feel a 7" tablet's too small so it's all a YMMV.
Ya im coming from a xperia tablet

I admit it looks a bit silly holding it to your head to talk (at least now. in a few years phones around this size will probably be common). I don't care at all, but it might bother some. In this case, get a cheap bluetooth headset. I had something like this a while back and it's light, comfortable, and when you get calls, you flip it open and it automatically answers them for you to start talking.

Yup, mine was one of the originals of this design too. Paid $100 for it, within a week when I took my keys out of my pocket, it fell out without me noticing and I ran over it with my car. Good times.
This phone is definitely big, but not suitable to replace a tablet. I much prefer my Tab 2 10.1 as touchwiz on a tablet is more friendly. But maybe its the s pen integration on this phone that complecates things.

I have a galaxy tab 7.7.... When I got my verizon note I was able to get the wall street journal app (for tablets) running on and I pulled the sdcard from the galaxy 7.7 and I forgot to plug it into the wall while I played with my note and the battery died The irony is when I went to check my tablet to turn it off is was already off, opps. I plugged the tablet back into the wall but I have yet to turn it back on. I've only had the phone for 4 days and I'm trying to figure out to keep or let go of my tablet.. Everything I did with my tablet videos/books the note handles with ease. It depends on the user really and what you use the tablet for. In retrospect, the galaxy 7.7 only has a 5100mah battery. When mugen announced the 6400mah extended battery and I was sold.

Asus Audio Dock

Has anyone purchased or tried the Audio Dock for the TF300T?
I'm seriously thinking of purchasing it but can't find any reviews online for it.

I saw this a little over a month ago but have yet to see one in a store here in the U.S..
It looks nice but kind of pricey. Hopefully I'll be able to see one in a store to see if the sound is worth it.

Bought this dock directly from Asus.
Not a bad little. Sound isn't outstanding but not too bad. A little smaller in size than i imagined
You don't need to have the dock plugged in for it to operate, it can be powered by the battery power of the TF300T.
All in all i would give it 8/10.

Received mine from Asus Australia $AU200 including delivery
I received my Audio Dock yesterday from Asus Australia for $AU200 including delivery. Part 90-xb3pokst00030
I hooked it up last night and it seemed to work fine, but then I had to take it off the stand because the screen kept flashing on and off every few minutes. I have switch Daydream set to off in the display settings, but it is still happening. Does anyone have any ideas.
another awesome Idea is a bluetooth audio speaker! look those up!
Personally if my girlfriend and I ever watch a tv show on the tablet we tape the lid of a jar to the back so the sound actually comes towards us. Or of course bluetooth speaker - certainly not worthwhile getting a dedicated accessory
